Apparently there's one that has just been released which translated English into Chinese and vice versa when you speak into it, and can send it to friends. Do you think it will work consideration how dodgy Google translate and others are?

I had the best luck with google translate. It said the funniest and strangest things. I never had to think of witty things to say. It did it for me. Where is the bread? = Keep the monkey for luck.

What a coincidence, that's my catch phrase - "Keep a monkey for luck!"
I use this app on my android phone. It is dodgy when translating from a chinese voice to english.
There is an app my student was using, he would hold the camera over an English word and it would show the Chinese definition. I wonder if there is an app that goes from Chinese to English. i would love to be able to read some darn menus...

There is, at least I know there is for iPhone. It's called Pleco, and you can add an optional optical character recognizer plug-in. The freebie version will tell you how to pronounce the character. If you want the translation, that will cost a few bucks.

Awesome, thanks! It's available for Android too... now i just have to figure out whether to buy the $15 camera add on or the $80 package...
